nmy son 30 years old and he is on 20mg of olanzapine 4 paronid schizophrenia. He lives next door to me, so I don't always get to see him that often. He hasn't been wanting to socialize or go on trips to the store with me. He secludes
himself a lot. He had a pchytrist appt. today but claims to be sick with a cold and won't go. IS there any other medications he can try with drs, approval. Need HELP. MOM IN ALASKA

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Olanzapnine is a good drug, but if your son is not responding then there are other options as well like:
Risperidone
Aripiprazole
Ziprasidone
Quetiapine etc...
If he is resistant to these drugs then the final option would be clozapine.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to know any further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link:
